Praedicate Evangelium [Preach the Gospel], the Pope’s apostolic constitution on the Roman Curia, was published on March 19. “The real scope of Francis’ changes,” the Pillar reports, “will be seen when the new constitution comes into force on June 5, when the Pope will likely clarify who is running the new combined departments.”

The leaders of the Council of Cardinal Advisors, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, Congregation for Bishops, Congregation for the Eastern Churches, Congregation for Catholic Education, Pontifical Council for Culture, Apostolic Penitentiary, and Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development have all passed the retirement age of 75.
